We took another trip to Frankfurt for our daughter to see a movie with a friend. We spent five hours so the girls could watch a two-hour movie in a city which is only 20 km away from Oberursel.

Well, this was my chance to take some photos at least. The streets were crowded with shoppers and people lingering in the new eating establishments on the Zeil. The sycamore trees have grown taller since my last visit and many more improvements have been added. Lanterns are attached to wires above the trees, the pedestrian walks have been smoothed out, more seating arrangement around the trees has been added, etc.

With today’s fairly mild temperatures, many Germans were just lounging around the public areas and it almost had a southern feel to it. I say almost, because the dark and heavy clothing would not  be a match for a summer evening.

And Frankfurt would not be Frankfurt without its Würstchen. This guy walks around with his portable grill in front, ketchup and mustard on his sides, and wallet underneath his grill.

I do come home with tired legs and flat feet, but Frankfurt is always interesting.
